@sigma_47 I wondered the same! Never noticed it before tonight but it was quite striking.

[Mo Perry @MoMoPerry]

@WesleySideStory Yes, it would be interesting to probe what’s working and what’s not, and what lessons that might hold.

[Mo Perry @MoMoPerry]

I’m quoted in this one. Interested to see what conversations this sparks, if any. https://t.co/patJW1PwnD

@StarTribune Mahamed is great. I worked with him briefly on a play workshop. Appreciate this: "I’m not angry... Anger should be reserved for specific, rare moments... Some people would like for me to be angry or to assume that I’m angry. I’m not."

Jung disturbingly observed that what we have ignored or denied inwardly will then more likely come to us as outer fate. “So, where did this outcome, this event, come from within me?” is a most critical, and potentially liberating, question. ~James Hollis

“My recommendation rests on three things: the relatively small absolute differences in observed mortality, the low but real procedural risks of colonoscopy, and your preference to avoid detecting and monitoring low-risk abnormalities unnecessarily.”

On the flip side, I had a lengthy discussion with ChatGPT yesterday that confirmed my choice to go with Cologuard instead of a colonoscopy. It concluded...

Yes. Everywhere I look lately, the same lesson is flashing: Balance is key.

Masculine/Feminine; Compassion/Discipline; Safety/Freedom

We’re so out of balance. Teams evangelize for one pole and demonize the other, to the neglect of all reason.

I don’t know how to fix this.

The more I read about the closing of The Modern Times, the angrier I get.

I grew up around drug addiction. I grew up around mental illness.

I've seen enabling. I've seen compassion without wisdom. I've seen what happens when you don't set boundaries with addicts and the mentally ill.

This was both.

You can't just make such offerings as "pay what you can afford" to a community rife with both addiction & mental health issues.

And when those issues arrive at your doorstep no amount of compassion will solve or heal them.

I can't stop shaking my head because I still love this city but, my God, are the inhabitants naive.

@lpeterson830 @plattMSP It’s my dream to spend a winter writing a book in Sifnos, frequenting the 3 open restaurants for warming stews and carafes of red wine…

"Grappling with these answers is very uncomfortable and difficult... The ‘red–green’ alliance between communist protesters and Islamist extremists feels meaningful to me, as does the paucity of the responses to this criticism from the left."

When anything, even a good thing, becomes one-sided and excludes its opposite, the demonic enters in. Even goodness can be demonic. ~James Hollis

@bossykashian Are there last night. So, so good.

There's some sort of cosmic culinary vortex in NE Mpls -- Saffron, Vinai, Minari, Mestiizo, Oro by Nixta, Diane's Place, NE Social, Diane's Place, and Stelline, all within a few blocks of each other, shouldn't be possible anywhere outside of Manhattan, but here we are.

[Mo Perry @MoMoPerry]

Listed Diane’s Place twice as a subconscious signal to myself that I need to try it — the only one of these I haven’t.

Not sure if this is viewable to paid Tangle subscribers only, but this week’s reader essay is great. It describes something I’ve experienced multiple times in my ultra-progressive community when I’ve dared to suggest we consider other viewpoints. https://t.co/6AqyLFBJig

This attitude of destruction and desecration will not stop until it has taken down everything beautiful humanity has ever made. Enough.
